Sell College Books

Students…this one is for you – webuybooks.co.uk make it so easy to sell college books online for cash!

I know full well how expensive college books can be and that their lifespan is very brief. After all, when the year is done you move onto new subjects that require new textbooks; in some cases you may only need them for a matter of months. The question is what to do with them when you no longer need them? If things haven’t gone well academically then you may be tempted to set them on fire but as a responsible person I have to warn you against that.

Sell college books to We Buy Books – we can take your old college books off your hands and in return give you some cold hard cash. In what is a devilishly simple process you send us your books, we send you some cash and everyone wins. You get to de-clutter and have some extra cash in your back pocket while we ensure the books go to people who need them.

We have to point out that we’re not asking for any books that you’re still using, we’re strictly asking for the college books that you simply don’t need anymore. Last years textbooks for example that only gather dust but could instead go to a good home, (I know that makes this sound like an advert for Battersea dogs home but you get where I’m coming from).

If you are a typical student then your old college books will probably be neatly stored somewhere in your pristine, tidy student house, (sarcasm alert!) or being used as a makeshift placemat on which to rest your Pot Noodle, (that’s actually very stereotypical of me and I apologise…most of you will probably use coasters or magazines for that).

The fact of the matter is, as a student money is very difficult to come by. It just so happens that you, (or your Pot Noodle) might just be sat on a way of earning extra cash. College books are very valuable these days and we pay good money for every book we receive so students…stop stude-ing for a minute, or whatever it is you crazy kids call it nowadays, grab all your old college books and send them to us here at We Buy Books.

The money could come in very handy, either to buy more books for yourself, or perhaps be spent on more…leisurely pursuits. I’ll leave that up to you but whatever you do, don’t miss out on a chance to earn plenty of extra cash for doing nothing more than sending us your college books.

To sum up, sell college books that you no longer require to we buy books, we buy your unwanted books at the best prices in a process so simple it takes seconds.To sell college books at webuybooks.co.uk just follow 4 easy steps above.

Packaging Guidelines

Following our simple guidelines will ensure your items reach us in the condition you sent them. Simply follow our guide below and you'll have your items packed in no time!

Use Correct Number of Boxes

Pack your items into the correct number of boxes as determined by our clever box calculator. This means we can easily track your items - ensuring you get paid faster. If you require more packaging labels then these can be found in your account.

Box Sizes

Secure Your Items

Bubble Wrap is the ideal material to secure your items in the box and prevent damage. Try to pack heavier items first and don't use a box that's too large - your items will move around and could damage one another.

Double Check Your Items

It might sound obvious but make sure you're sending all the items that are listed in your selling basket.

Use a Sturdy Box

Please use a box to send your items, just wrapping them does not give sufficient protection. Books, CD's and DVD's can be heavy and will shift during transit so the box needs to be heavy duty enough to cope with this. Use rigid boxes with flaps intact also use strong tape designed for shipping as apposed to securing your box with string and paper over-wrap.

Ensure Postage Label is Attached Securely

Remove any labels, hazardous materials indicators, and other previous shipment labels. Ensure your label is attached securely and the barcode is not obscured by tape. This will allow your box to be easily tracked - meaning you get paid quicker!

Post Within 7 Days

Prices offered for books, CD's and DVD's remain in place for 7 days, so to make sure you get the cash you're expecting please post your items within this time frame.

It does not affect the text

There are no pictures coloured in

These are not on more than 20% of the books pages.

If a book originally came with a dust jacket, CD or DVD it must accompany the book when shipped to us. Computer manuals and language courses originally issued with a CD will not be accepted without the CD. All CD’s and DVD’s must be in working condition.

Ex-library books are accepted but must be in reasonable condition.

Excessive writing, underlining, and/or highlighting or ‘remainder’ marks on page edges may also result in a reduction of the quoted price or the book being rejected.

A small amount of writing, underlining or highlighting of pages is usually okay, as long as it is on fewer than 20% of the book’s pages.

Discs must not be cracked, dented, have deep scratches or other damage. Light surface scratches are usually acceptable providing it does not impact on the discs ability to play. We require that all the original packaging, artwork, booklets and instructions are present and these should not be defaced or damaged. Cases may have light surface scratches but shall be complete and unbroken.

All orders are subject to our acceptance at our sole discretion. All items are checked by our quality control team.

Why won't your accept my item?

We do buy a wide variety of items however we already have multiple copies of many of the “best sellers” and popular titles and unfortunately are not a position buy further copies.

Popular fiction (particularly paperbacks by popular authors) often falls into this category. Another reason for a title being rejected is the age of the publication.

Books published within the last two years are more likely to be accepted. Similar principles apply to CD’s, DVD’s, Blue Rays and Games in that the more popular and common they are the less likely we ar to accept them.

Note our prices and the list of items that we can buy are updated every day.
